AVCAV XXVIII 3 CLASS '25 BOOK Annie Frieda Guenther Honest labor bears a lovely face If you wish to read any of Shakespeare's plays or Lamb's Essays, seek Annie, and she will give you any book under the sun, for she keeps track of Miss Stratton's English books. There would be no need of marshals and afternoon sessions if we were all as silent and industrious as Annie. Annie never takes part in school activities, but friends from her home town, Cleghorn, tell us that she enjoys going to the movies, and likes to dance. Barbara Sargent Hackett Congratulations to Barb; one of the school's future artists. Her posters for the various school activities have been much admired. Her artistic ability is further dis- played in her devotion to the piano and the art of Pavlowa. How well we all remember the Black Bottom done to per- fection at the Junior- Senior Reception. Barb is a jolly friend, a good student, and a loyal supporter of the school sports. There are rumors that Barb will be a nurse, but we know that her career will end in happiness and a little white cottage. Dramatic Club (3-4), Glee Club, French Club, French Play (4), Chairman of Junior-Senior Reception. Agnes Gladys Hakkarainen Aggie is one of the petits oiseau.x of Miss Fuller's French Class. You can always rely on her never-failing blush for your mistakes in class. She is planning to take up the wonderful art of teaching. Her ambition is to teach Latin to the future generation. Not the least attractive things about her are her bright eyes and boyish bob. She does not allow her love of dancing to interfere with her good marks.

Mildred Minerva Harland And still they gazed and still their wonder grew. That one small head could carry all she knew Dignified, modest, and unassuming are the three adjec- tives most applicable to our friend. Her dignity and seri- ousness are counter-balanced by just enough cheerfulness and humor. Mildred seems to enjoy her civics class and always manages to get a good mark on her tests. Ruth Mary Harley to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you'll forget them all Ruth is a veteran of General J. Edward Bouvier's army of vocalists. She thoroughly enjoys conversation, if we may judge by her expression. Her smile is so charming that it is not difficult to notice. She prefers the new F. L. cars with the leather upholstery to the old ones to take her to her little gray home in the West. Glee Club( 4). 26

Wisdom is humble that he knows no more Rudolph's face shows but one thought, a serious and melancholy one. He has taken to pounding the cinders on Crocker Field in an attempt to overcome distance. Ru- dolph is not provided with a loud speaker attachment so characteristic of certain persons we know. Russell Francis Grainger Still waters run deep Russell comes from the Occident every morning on the Eiffel omnibus.
